  Talk about movies you will not forget having seen them a decade ago, well, this is a perfect example.
  A truly mesmerizing experience, which gets more and more uncomfortable as it progresses.
  Forget the slashers with axes, true horror, that's surgeons with scalpels.

  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  Still digesting this, but I can't wrap my head around this in any way that doesn't come up the same: transmisogynistic and general misogynistic garbage. Feel free to disagree in the comments if you're a trans woman, non-binary, or, for the non-trans misogyny, a cis woman.

  TW: forced surgery, transmisogyny, misogyny, rape, kidnapping, suicide

  * Forced feminization is at best complicated, but here it is filmed in such bright-yet-sterile care that it seems like an indulgence, like the filmmakers found it artful. It seems as though both the enforcement and the feminization are felt to be horrors. While being wrongfully altered surgically to another gender is terrifying, it's hard not to see this also as a depiction of femininity as…

  Dios mio.

  Pardon my Spanish, but this film just knocked the wind out of me. Almodovar is one messed up genius and he pushes the boat out here with this wonderfully bizarre fairytale.

  It is a fairytale in so far that it deals with real life themes but puts them in a larger than life setting. And larger than life it is. It is very difficult to write anything about this film without spoiling the plot so I won't as I feel this film is best enjoyed if you go in cold.

  Starts out with the images being almost hypnotic! This movie is beautifully shot! The story sneaks up on you! It is twisted on so many different levels! Give it a try!

  If Pedro Almodóvar wanted to make "a horror story without screams or frights" - that's exactly what he created here. It's the kind psychological horror that calmly terrifies you as the story unfolds instead of going for the scares, it doesn't shock you with reveals - it shocks you as you slowly realize the nightmare that is this situation. And of course, there is no getting away from all of the drama.
